林百貨進駐完成 即將重新開幕！/ Hayashi Department Store reopening

千呼萬喚的林百貨
82年前建造 引領潮流的“五層樓仔”的
終於要在這個週末6/14重新開幕了!

The long-awaited Hayashi Department Store,
which was built 82 years ago,
is going to reopen this weekend on 14.June!


歷經三年困難重重的修復
去年夏天 林百貨曾短暫的開放兩個月
讓大家能近距離觀看修復的成果

After 3-year-long repair,
which was filled with difficulties,
Hayashi Department Store has opened 2 months
shortly in last summer, 

so that people can see the achievement closely.

(有興趣的朋友可以先復習一下去年的文章“風華再現林百貨”

時隔近一年
林百貨終於完成了百貨進駐
在今天6/11舉行了記者會
搶先披露做為全台第一座文創百貨
林百貨嶄新的風貌

Almost one year since then,
Hayashi Department Store has completed its pre-procedure
and held its press conference,
reveal the brand new look
of the 1st cultural & creative department store in Taiwan.


昨天6/10
幫朋友一起去林百貨佈置櫃位
也得以有機會搶先看到一點點的新貌
雖然當時大家似乎還很忙亂(？)
但有些地方已經進駐完成
和去年夏天空曠沈靜的模樣相比
現在有了各式各樣的展品和店家進駐
展現出更多元的活力

是完全不同的魅力喔!

Yesterday, 10 June,
I went to help my friend with her setting in there.
Therefore I got the chance to see a little bit of its charm.
Although staffs seems to be really busy,
but some of the settings were done.
Compare to the way it is last summer,
which is empty and calm,
now there are various of exhibits and stores,
it shows a great diversity of energy.
It's a totally different charm!

是不是很期待呢?
如果您6/14正好在台南
可以前往參與盛況!
不過也要提醒您 因為林百貨是老建築了
空間也不比現代百貨公司
站在保護的立場上是有限制人數的
 一次僅能容納470人
如果當天無法入內
也可以另外擇期去看看
這個台南新熱門景點喔!!

Are you also looking forward to it?
If you're in Tainan on 14 June,
you can visit there and join the celebration!
But also have to remind you that,
Hayashi Department Store is an old building,
the space is not as big as the new style ones.
In order to protect it, the allowances of people will be limited.
Only 470 people at the same time.
If you can't get in on the day,
don't forget to arrange another day

to visit the new hot spot in Tainan!

子淳阿伯來訪 / Uncle Jasen Lin came back

四月的時候，老林居的原屋主
也就是林麗水醫師的大兒子林子淳夫婦
從美國回到台灣，和許久不見的親友們小聚幾日
也順道在老林居留宿了兩晚

Jasen Lin, the original owner of Rolling Inn,
also the eldest son of the Dr. Li-Shui Lin,
came back from the U.S. in April.
He came to have some reunions with relatives & friends,
also stayed in Rolling Inn for 2 nights.

右邊是林子淳阿伯夫婦 / Uncle Jasen Lin & his wife are on the right

林麗水醫師是我的大伯公
在他的三個兒子中，子淳阿伯排行老大
小時候我總聽爸爸輩們叫他“大きい 兄ちゃん”(大哥)
老林居就是他們三兄弟長大的家
我們接手過來後其實閒置在那裡許多年
兩年多的改造從堆滿雜物開始
一點一點地再造他的風采
改造快要完成的時候他們也回來過一次
對再次看到房子美麗的樣子深受感動

Dr. Li-Shui Lin is my grandpa's brother.
Uncle Jasen Lin is the eldest in the 3 brothers.
I used to hear my dad & uncles call him "大きい 兄ちゃん"
(means the eldest brother in Japanese)
Rolling Inn is where they grew up.
We took over the house many years ago
and it stayed unused for a long time.
The more than 2-year-long reform
started from cleaning the piled stuffs,
step by step remake its beauty.
They also went back when the reform is nearly done,
and they're touched to see how beautiful the house is.


難得回來 大家也決定保留整棟的空間
讓他們可以盡情的回味

We seldom have chance to treat them,
so we decided to keep the whole space, just for them,
so they can enjoy the aftertaste as much as they want.


這趟回來 大家開心地敘舊
我也聽到了許多以前的故事
有親朋好友來訪總是很開心的事
能聽到原屋主的回饋
也讓我們對於繼續做這件事
更加堅定

We chatted a lot this time
so I also heard some stories of the old times.
It's always a joyful thing to have relatives & friends visiting.
To hear the feedback form them,
truly gives us more confidencesto keep doing the thing.
